Yes, you are right, I am treating an empty line as a line with a large
indentation.
Suppose I did what you suggest, treating it as a line with no
indentation:
- one
- two
- two a
- two b
- two c
- three
Now "- three" will not be treated as third item in the list
started by "- one", but it will be starting a new list...
Whatever I do, this is very fragile, and I would have to require
to never put any empty line between items. What we have
now is at least stable. I agree that making empty lines
always close all levels of items would be another stable
implementation. Hmmmmmm.

I think that a blank line has 0 indentation, therefore (by this logic)
it should end a list item. Clearly a blank line cannot start a list
item, so it must end a list.
I think the question is whether list items can contain blank lines.
This may be established practice, but it was not what I was expecting.
Thanks

It appears org-move-item-down treats blank lines as part of the

subsequent text).
So given
- a test
- b test
- c test
test
with point on line b, M-x org-move-item-down gives
- a test
- c test
- b test
test
The problem with is this is following. Suppose I made the item end
before the
empty line, as you suggest. Then consider the following case:
- a test
- b test
- c test
If I now move "b" up, I get
- b test
- a test
- c test
I don't think there is a good solution to this problem - if you
know one, I would be interested.
